CollabFinder is a web application developed by GrasPods, to maximize collaboration and communication between researchers and to facilitate equipment sharing, among other things.
CollabFinder works across institutional boundaries, fostering collaboration both within institutions and more widely, using the power of the Internet and alumni to make connections between labs around the world.
CollabFinder also provides management reporting, giving institutions insight into researcher activity which is currently not available. This includes value add measures like Alumni destinations and career progression, metrics on publication and solid numbers on what each researcher is working on, equipment inventory & utilization, etc...
The system was developed for GrasPods by Duncan Lock <dunc@codeistry.com> and Frances Lock <flock@bccrc.ca>
